The inconsistency with timezones across different services in the AWS console has always baffled and annoyed me. Some places have a time without a timezone and I can never tell right away if it's utc, local time, or region time.

AWS is powerful and very popular, but for the console, "it functions" must be the only condition the UI has to satisfy. Should every page use a unique table and sorting widget and UI language? Yes, please!

I'm assuming this helps them move fast, not having to coordinate with anybody or wait for a UI designer to tell them how it should look. But it's striking when compared to GCP.

I've been told that each service is responsible for their own UI.
